Indeed he gave me a very good Clyster, Heaven knows. we pardon your offence: and thus upon your Good-behaviour we will suffer you both in the Commonwealth; but with this caution, that if ever you come by your Learning to any degrees in the University of our Commonwealth, (that you may for ever be distinguished from other men) because you have not been found Viri quadrati, Square and upright men; you shall be enjoined to wear Round Caps. A like mercy still attend Polites. A like mercy still attend Polites. But, Medicus, see you love your man Sanguis, though this your crime was detected by him: I say, Sanguis is an honest servant, and more faithful to the whole Body of the Commonwealth, than any one Corrupt Member. Depart, and henceforth abuse not our mercy. Long may Polites live most honoured; long may Polites live most honoured. Long may Polites live most honoured; long may Polites live most honoured. Thus, as in a natural body, the first way to health, is by removing all more dangerous corruptions; and the second, by reducing the humours to a composed temperature: the first is already performed, and now it remains that we temper ourselves. Most honoured Citizens, I am not ignorant either of your contentions or loves: the first of which, as I would labour to dissolve: so to unite the last; if yourselves will be pleased but to refer the composing of your differences to my unpartial censure. We are pleased, Reverend Polites. The gods add the happiness of success to my determinations. First, then Poeta, Logicus, and Grammaticus, you shall bury all former contentions in a perpetual {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman}, or oblivion, and then I thus proceed: For you geometre's, I am sorry that that Villain Magus did so far seduce you; but we all rejoice at your recovery: and since Geographus has obtained Astronomia, embrace you courteously the love of Arithmetica. I'm sure ever since you have both been of years of discretion, you have been acquainted: and beside, geometre's, there is not any man in the World, whom she makes more account of then yourself: and therefore I will not say, vt ameris ama, love her, that she may love you; but Quia amaris ama. Love because you are first loved; nay, 'tis a just gratitude, which also is a love, and so you shall double it. Briefly, if there be any point, geometre's, which you stand upon, know you remain still at odds; but if you embrace the love of Arithmetica, you'll be at a perfect unity. Well, Polites, geometre's shall be Ruled by you this once; come, Wench, sure I must love thee, I even long to take thine Altitude. And I trust we two shall be always Even.

Indeed he gaue me a very good Clyſter, Heauen knowes. Wee pardon your offence: and thus vpon your Good-behauiour wee will ſuffer you both in the Common-wealth; but with this caution, that if euer you come by your Learning to any degrees in the Vniuerſitie of our Common-wealth, (that you may for euer bee diſtinguiſhed from other men) becauſe you haue not beene found Viri quadrati, Square and vpright men; you ſhall bee enioyn'd to weare Round Caps. A like mercie ſtill attend Polites. A like mercie ſtill attend Polites. But, Medicus, ſee you loue your man Sanguis, though this your crime was detected by him: I ſay, Sanguis is an honeſt ſeruant, and more faithfull to the whole Bodie of the Common-wealth, then any one Corrupt Member. Depart, and hence-forth abuſe not our mercie. Long may Polites liue moſt honour'd; long may Polites liue moſt honour'd. Long may Polites liue moſt honour'd; long may Polites liue moſt honour'd. Thus, as in a naturall bodie, the firſt way to health, is by remoouing all more dangerous corruptions; and the ſecond, by reducing the humours to a compos'd temperature: the firſt is alreadie perform'd, and now it remaines that wee temper our ſelues. Moſt honour'd Citizens, I am not ignorant either of your contentions or loues: the firſt of which, as I would labour to diſſolue: ſo to vnite the laſt; if your ſelues will be pleas'd but to referre the compoſing of your differences to my vnpartiall cenſure. We are pleas'd, Reuerend Polites. The gods adde the happineſſe of ſucceſſe to my determinations. Firſt, then Poeta, Logicus, and Grammaticus, you ſhall bury all former contentions in a perpetuall , or obliuion, and then I thus proceed: For you Geometres, I am ſorrie that that Villaine Magus did ſo farre ſeduce you; but we all reioyce at your recouerie: and ſince Geographus has obtain'd Aſtronomia, embrace you courteouſly the loue of Arithmitica. I'm ſure euer ſince you haue both beene of yeeres of diſcretion, you haue beene acquainted: and beſides, Geometres, there is not any man in the World, whom ſhee makes more account of then your ſelfe: and therefore I will not ſay, vt ameris ama, loue her, that ſhe may loue you; but Quia amaris ama. Loue becauſe you are firſt lou'd; nay, 'tis a iuſt gratitude, which alſo is a loue, and ſo you ſhall double it. Briefly, if there be any point, Geometres, which you ſtand vpon, know you remaine ſtill at Ods; but if you embrace the loue of Arithmetica, you'l be at a perfect vnitie. Well, Polites, Geometres ſhall bee Rul'd by you this once; come, Wench, ſure I muſt loue thee, I euen long to take thine Altitude. And I truſt we two ſhall be alwaies Euen.
